Ellis Island

Island of Hope - Island of Tears (1989) 29 min

A Well-made National Park Service film. From 1892-1954, Ellis Island was the port of entry for millions of European immigrants. Fascinating archival footage tells the moving story of families with dreams of opportunity, leaving their homes with what they could carry.
